Bronco Warthog Raptor Spotted Testing w/ Black Painted Modular Hardtop

[jbryant]

Man, Ford has done a ton of changes with the suspension. If you look at the older spy pics, you can see the rear shock mounts. But now there tucked up and have a bash plate covering the mounts.

Put the 3.5 EB in it and call it a day!

It looks like they will widen the track - they have to. I also don't know about 2 door unless it has a longer wheelbase than the rest of the 2-door Bronco range.

I remember getting a Ford Escape as a rental in the first or second year they were out. It had more torque and pep than the track or wheelbase called for. It would get SQUIRRELY in a hurry if you got on it.

A few observations that I'll carryover from FB where I mentioned them earlier.

The painted mod top - is it a Webasto hold over? Or could it be an early prototype by the new supplier? If it is the latter, then that might give hope that a painted mod top might meet the MY'23 availability forecast (even a late Q4 MY'22 availability).

Also note the beefy LCA and Fox shocks. Good to see the lower shock mount is protected unlike the current Bronco.

I know CSP (Corvette bodies, Raptor parts, Jeep tops) is in the prototyping phase (phase I) on a Bronco top.

I saw that coming down Swan Mountain road yesterday towards Keystone and by the time I made a U to track it down I lost it.

How to make those of us with yellow shocks jealous in one photo

If this turns out to be a real bronco . I my just wait and not get my badlands if the price is right.

Me too.

BUT… I bet it’s going to come in around $62k starting… probably closer to $70k once you configure it the way you want it.

Too rich for my blood.

Are these supposed to come with 37” tires? They seem like 37” but I can’t make out the actual size from those pics.

Google “BFG actual tire size”. They run small.

I did not take these photos they were posted on Facebook.

Spotted in Colorado. Pretty cool

So cool! Another truck they're not going to make. Really wanted to support Ford and wanted the Bronco I ordered so long ago. Guess it's going to have to be a Defender. They actually make trucks.

Looks like a better designed lower control arm.

Agreed, doesn’t have those bizarre bolts piercing through begging for rocks.

These are going to be rad. My question remains, what’s the track width? I think it could be too wide for my tastes.

Also, no 2door, no sale.

Longer 2door would be a welcome offering.

With the shenanigans (bait and switch, selling from underneath customers, ADM) Ford dealers are pulling with regular Broncos (every trim), Tremors, Raptors who knows the BS they’ll do with the Warthogs

Maybe I'm just a spoiled baby but I can't get excited about any Bronco news knowing mine is sitting in a field for the next few months.

Just don’t care about anything in the future from Ford right now.

They look like 35's to me.
My guess, 35's standard, 37's option.
